Acquisition Details - The acquisition price for Zhongke Junda is set at 1.14 billion yuan, with Fuhuang Steel planning to raise up to 400 million yuan from specific investors to support the transaction [2][6]. - The transaction is characterized as a related party transaction, as both companies share the same controlling shareholder, which raises concerns about asset valuation and potential conflicts of interest [6][7]. - The valuation of Zhongke Junda has increased nearly eightfold since Fuhuang Steel's previous sale of its stake in 2019, from 130 million yuan to 1.14 billion yuan [7][8]. Debt and Financial Pressure - Fuhuang Steel is currently under significant financial strain, with a debt-to-asset ratio of 67.46% and short-term borrowings exceeding 3.34 billion yuan, while cash reserves stand at only 767 million yuan, resulting in a funding gap of 2.57 billion yuan [9][10]. - The company has seen its interest-bearing debt rise from 2.15 billion yuan in 2020 to 3.69 billion yuan in 2024, leading to increased interest expenses [9].
